Job Description

As a Construction Project Manager at Nordstrom, you'll lead construction projects across our retail stores, supply chain facilities, and corporate offices — from early scoping through final closeout. You'll own the full project lifecycle, keeping work on track across budget, schedule, and quality while navigating the complexity and pace of a dynamic retail environment. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, leads with clarity, and builds trust with people at every level. You’ll bring a strategic mindset to every project, anticipating risks before they materialize, making sound decisions with incomplete information and managing complexity across multiple workstreams without losing sight of the bigger picture.
